This pretty bloom is a Pink Zinnia. Zinnias come in a variety of colour with large profuse blooms. They are annual flowers usually grown from seeds
In all the plant troughs on the side walks on the roads of Melaka City, there are multi-colour Zinnias - pink, yellow, orange, red and rose grown together
When planted on the ground, the designs change to more singular colour patterns. Examples of beautiful designs can be found at the Clock Tower at the Stadhuys and along the walkway near the Taming Sari Tower
Like the colourful becas, these blooms add colour and vibrancy to the surrounding where they are planted
Besides being a heritage and historical city, Melaka can also boasts of being the most "flowerful" city in Malaysia!What's there to do?
1. Photograph the different colour blooms
2. Pose for photos
3. Grow some back home, buy a book on "How to Grow Zinnias" from the local bookstore
4. Do a botany tour around the city, find out who planted the Zinnias and give them a pat on the back for a great spectacle of colour
Now who says there's nothing to see and nothing to do in Melaka?
